"The non-minor dependent (NMD) came to the attention of DCFS and the Court when she was in the 4th grade. She was removed from both parents due to their severe mental health challenges and homelessness. A church member later became her legal guardian and cared for her until she graduated from high school and enrolled in college.

Unfortunately, due to her own mental health struggles, she was unable to complete her first semester and withdrew from college. She temporarily returned to her former legal guardian’s home, where she has stayed for the past 10 months. However, the guardian’s family is now facing their own challenges and has asked her to move out by 6/30/25.

The former guardian helped her find a small, rented room near their workplace and continues to support her transition to independent living. Although the NMD is still struggling with mental health and independence, she is motivated and willing to work toward full self-sufficiency over the next year.

She is in need of a twin-size bed and other basic household items to settle into her new space. "

Hello, a family in the community is in urgent need of a vehicle. This single mother of four children has remained resilient and hopeful despite countless setbacks the family has faced. The family lost their previous vehicle due it to being totaled in an accident. This barrier has resulted in missed or pushed-back appointments, due to minimal social support in the area. This family is very motivated to accomplish goals, and this would be an amazing support to the family! *Note, oldest child is 12 years old, thus a 5-person vehicle would be sufficient.

Hello, a family in the community is in need of a dumpster in order to deep clean and downsize their home! This family has continued to display motivation and resilience to accomplish goals, and this would be a huge help in completing this task!

HeartReach received a call from a client asking if we could help her obtain a twin size bed for her fast growing 3 1/2 year old daughter as she has outgrown her toddler bed. She is actively engaging with support services and doing an amazing job building a healthy life for herself and her daughter. Her income is limited and she shared that her boyfriend's hours were recently cut at work and they are feeling the strain on their finances. After chatting with her further it was determined that she would also need the bedding and pillow to go with the new bed frame and mattress. She shared that her daughter loves pink and blue, unicorns, Stitch, Bluey and Care Bears.

We currently are fostering 3 children and want to continue to make their experience meaningful. We have a 12 year old girl who could use some basketball shoes (size 7.5) and probably extra socks. We also have a sibling set ( girl 2, boy 1) who could use some pajamas. She wears 3T and he’s in 18month. Diapers and wipes are always needed. Thank you so much!

💙 A Fresh Start Deserves a Little Help 💙

We want to share the story of a courageous single mother who recently took a huge step forward. After experiencing homelessness, she entered the Pearl’s Hope program and has worked tirelessly to build a better life for herself and her 8-month-old son — who she has now joyfully reunified with.

When she arrived at the program, she brought all she could for her baby, but only had two outfits for herself and a single pair of flip-flops.

Today, she’s proud to be working as a cashier — on her feet for hours each day — and she’s asking for a small lift to keep going strong.

She’s in need of: 👟 A comfortable pair of black work shoes (size 10) 👕 Gently used or new shirts in XL or 2XL (she prefers black and darker colors) Amazon Gift Card

If you can help donate or spread the word, you’ll be making a real difference in the life of a mother who’s fighting every day to stay on her feet — literally and figuratively.
